I'll see your "anythink" and raise you a "could of".

Also, is it just me or does the word "accidentally" not exist in
the English language? As far as I can tell I'm the only person
who uses it since absolutely everyone else uses the appaulingly
clunky "by accident".

And the USAian habit of excessive "would", as in:

...and wish I would have purchased sooner...

And the inability to use any adverbs. "I eat healthy."

OTOH I prefer their use of the subjunctive.


But do they know what they are doing?
